What is usually known as "classical," particularly Baroque, like J S Bach.

But we cannot read the Old Testament without seeing that the 12 tribes of Israel repeatedly disobeyed God. We have the incident of the brazen calf in the wilderness, the matter of Baal worship on Mount Carmel, and much more. The 12 tribes did not always follow God's good ways.

But Jesus said that the new birth is essential. The idea that people can be saved without being born again doesn't make sense. Writing to the Christians in Ephesus, Paul said: “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of...

I took "your scriptures" as a less wordy way of saying, "the scriptures which you quoted."

Sorry, what is meaningless? As I have said, those of us who believe the doctrines Calvin believed do so because we find them in Scripture. I believed the doctrines before I had even heard of John Calvin, so I wasn't "following the wisdom of man." I mentioned the fact that confessions of faith...

Thanks, that makes more sense.

You care not if the scholars.....what? As it stands, "I care not if the scholars" doesn't make any sense.

In that case we are not going to agree on our understanding of Scripture. Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.

I don't really know Greek, but isn't the Greek "o" a definite article, the equivalent of the English definite article "the?" A website I looked at had this: "There are 2 main types of articles in Greek. The Definite (ο, η, το) and the Indefinite (ένας, μία/μια, ένα). Both are used before...

I would be surprised if quoting the same Scripture 3 times in one thread caused somebody to be banned. Some threads are extremely long, and a member might contribute to it over many months or even years. Surely they are not expected to remember which Scriptures they quoted many months ago.

But we read of plenty of people who met Jesus when He was here on earth, and still hated Him. The chief priests, many of the scribes and Pharisees, for example.

I agree. I don't understand where MonoBiblical got "worder" from as an alternative transalation of "logos."

But clearly those who believe the doctrines of grace ("Calvinism" if you prefer) do so because that is what they find in Scripture. Take a look at any Calvinistic statement of faith, like the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith or the Westminster Confession of Faith, and you will find that every...

Is it really that bad? Don't you have pavements? (I think you call them "sidewalks." - in fact I have just noticed that you mention them in your post.) Is your pubic transport really overrun with criminals and junkies?

Just because you may not believe what I do about salvation, that doesn't mean that I'm confused. On a forum like this, we encounter Christians with different understanding on all sorts of matters - Creation, baptism, salvation, the person of Mary, and so on. Telling somebody whose...

Thanks, that is clearer now. I apologise for misunderstanding what you meant.

You wrote: "Be it true or false, isn't all doctrine biblical?" Do you mean that the bible teaches false doctrine as well as true? If so, that would seem to go against what we read in the bible itself: “The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments...

That is true of transformed husbands, too.

Is it? What is a parable in: "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth," (Gen 1:10 or: ““But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” —then He said to the paralytic, “Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”” (Mt 9:6 NKJV) If everything...

I agree that they arrived at Jerusalem because that is where they expected a new-born king to be. This shows that God didn't guide them by the star all the way from their home in the East. They said to Herod, "We have seen His star in the East," not "We have followed His star from the East."...
